Robert: 
I had similar problems when I installed my 2620 board with my 2-meg ram board
and my ASDG serial board.  It did very similar things, the Guruing in the middle
of boot up and such.  What I finally did to solve my problem was let the 
thing 'warm up' for a while before I let it boot.  About 5 minutes should do it.
This worked for me as well as another friend with similar problems.  It appears
that the buss 'needs to warm up' and come to a stable state before it trys to
talk to any boards, (due to timing problems, noise, etc).  I know this sounds
crazy, I thought so too, but it worked for me. Give it a try, and let me and
others know.  Thanks, Mike...
